The European project E2PHEST2US had as its objective the development of innovative cogeneration modules for the conversion of concentrated solar energy into small-sized electricity. The preliminary prototypes of the conversion module, operating at temperatures between 700 and 1100 °C due to the thermionic and thermoelectric effect, the "concept" of the conversion module and its manufacturing process are the main results, to which a proprietary CNR patent is connected.
